Description
This little brig is a full size replica of the original Lady Nelson which sailed from England to Australia in 1800. She was involved in the fist three European settlements of Tasmania and helped to transfer the Norfolk Island settlers.
Based at the beautiful, picturesque waterfront of Hobart and just minutes walk from the centre of town, the full size replica of the original Deptford built Brig is a popular sight with locals and tourists alike.
The Lady Nelson sails majestically up and down the River Derwent to the joy and delight of her passengers who are offered the opportunity to enjoy a tall ship sailing experience. Passengers are able to help set sails, take a turn at the helm or just enjoy the feel of a traditional sailing ship at sea.
